Groups are a collection of objects that are treated as one object. Objects in a group cannot be individually modified. To group objects together, select the objects and click the group button . To allow individual modification of objects in a group, you must first ungroup them.

Groups have the following properties:

Ø A group can contain any other objects, including other groups.

Ø A group can contain any number of objects, including one. Grouping a single object can be beneficial if that object is complex or has many handles, since it hides the handles and makes the object less likely to be accidentally modified. Some objects can be auto-grouped when created.

Ø A group is only in one overlay. Grouping objects in different overlays will place them in the same overlay as the group.
